Solutions · Head of Internal Audit and external auditor
The workpaper is the product
For the Head of Internal Audit, and for the external auditor. The work is not identical, and we cover both: the internal function testing its own controls, and the engagement team producing an opinion for a client. What both need is the same thing an audit has always needed: evidence, tied to source, that survives review.
Accountability boundary
Automation does not move the decision.
Cogniveil's AI coworkers do the extraction, cross-referencing, and first assessment. The coworker does the work. The human keeps the decision. When a claim cannot be grounded in approved sources, it is not guessed.
Audit
Four capabilities
Extract
Unstructured documents become structured tables: figures and fields pulled from PDFs into a spreadsheet, with citations down to the contributing file and row.
Risk Assessment
The coworker reads a body of evidence and surfaces risks, gaps, and compliance issues, each one cited back to the underlying document.
Report
Findings assembled into structured output, in your house format, with the citation chain intact.
Mandate Controls
Controls and mandates matched against requirements, exceptions flagged with the source of both sides.
Live mechanism · illustrative data
Evidence before conclusion
Move from extraction to risk assessment, report, and mandated controls without losing the source trail.
Evidence discipline
ACTIVE STAGE 01
Extract
Contract evidence is separated, located, and linked before any conclusion is drafted.
Source, reviewer, override, reason, and approval retained
The work itself
Named jobs, not a list of AI features
Open each job to see the work today, what changes, what does not change, who signs, and the governing provision where it is confirmed.
The job today
Evidence arrives as invoices, contracts, confirmations, statements, and other documents. Someone keys figures and fields into the workpaper by hand.
What changes
The coworker pulls figures and fields into the workpaper structure, each value cited to the contributing file and row.
What does not
What counts as sufficient, appropriate evidence remains the auditor's judgment.
Who signs
The engagement lead
The coworker does the work
Reads approved sources, follows the defined steps, records tests, cites findings, and escalates exceptions.
The human keeps the decision
The auditor keeps scope, sufficiency, materiality, finding ratings, and the assurance opinion.
What we have done here
A revenue sampling procedure was built with an accountancy firm, with every selected line cited to source. A consolidation workflow merged nine property ledgers into one general ledger and proved the trial balance nets to zero before release. Organizations are not named.
Start with one workflow
Bring one audit procedure: an extraction, a sample, or a reconciliation. Define the correct workpaper, run it, and check every citation.
